This movie is so gory, it could give Sweeney Todd a run for it's money. It also has a blue god like character that is completely naked half the time. First off, why did they animate him naked all of the time? And second, why did the half to animate a penis in the first place? It's not like he'll ever use it seeing as he feels nothing, and when you create something this weird, I don't think the story would lose anything if he lost his dick in the accident. The ending isn't too bad but the rest of the movie shouldn't have been made. A whole bunch of mentally insane people with karate skills are trying to save the world and that is suppose to be entertaining. I want my money back!!!!

Among the worst comic-book to screen adaptations that I've ever seen. It's right there with Superman Returns as bloated messes that should have never been released as is. What I can't believe is that they actually put MORE footage in to a director's cut when the original needed 40 minutes cut from it in the first place.

This was a great comic-movie, but it will suffer viewership. This genre-movie should be viewable by everyone; especially children. The violence, soft porn, and mature themes will turn away that demographic. It is a shame, really. This was a well-acted, thought-provoking piece that did not need the soft porn R rating to be successful. It is an instant classic for those of us in the know. The producers should have been willing to give up the R rating for more viewers(& dollars).

Amazing film. Bringing a graphic novel as layered and complex as the Watchmen to the screen is no easy task and Snyder did a great job. I think some of the complaints people have about this movie is interesting because they are very contradictory. Some say the film is too short and some say it's too long. Some say that the movie suffers from sticking too close to the book and others say it's from not sticking close enough to the book. From beginning to end I can't say there wasn't a single moment when I checked the time. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this film. I also speak from a fan's perspective when I say that this movie is probably the closest adaptation of a comic book to date. Yeah there are some details left out but there are already people complaining about the length. Imagine how many people would bitch if this movie actually had every single thing from the book in it. It would be like five hours long! The fact of the matter is that the spirit and the heart of the book is definitely present in every moment of the movie. Some people are also complaining about the music used in the film. With exception of maybe a song or two I loved the soundtrack. Since the film is a period piece, and these characters are such a big part of American history from the 1950's on, it makes sense to blend the music of the times into these characters lives. This is the story of what would happen in our world if these characters existed in it. In our world music is very tied into our history. I just really don't see the big deal. I think it's just because people aren't used to hearing this sort of music in this genera. Again this just goes to show that this movie dares to be different from the rest. I think the problem for the non fans of the book is that they just thought this was going to be another X Men. THIS IS NOT THE X MEN or is it any other super hero film you have ever seen before. This is risk taking super hero story. It's got the spirit of an independent film. It is truly unique. Yeah it still has the action and the fight scenes audiences have come to expect from a super hero movie and they are certainly impressive. Unlike other super hero films though the action scenes aren't what drives the story. This is a character piece. The film, like the novel, takes it's time developing the complex history of the characters and the world they live in. Each character is so rich and unique that it's very hard to find a favorite. The actors are perfectly cast to bring these characters to life. It's as though they are jumping out of the pages of the book. Watchmen is good enough to compete with The Dark Knight for best comic book film ever. I think it's a shame that so many people seem to have issues with the movie but then again maybe thats where the movie wins. It's provoking debate among people and that's exactly what Alan Moore intended when he wrote the graphic novel. He wrote a daring story that twists the conventions of the typical super hero comic. Snyder recreated that with super hero films. The Dark Knight did a great job of pushing the genera into a new direction and this film is now the next step. It truly is a good film and I hope that it gets the recognition that it deserves. It is a must see and an experience that should not be missed. It's the freshest super hero story ever told.

If seeing a prosthetic male member all the time throughout the movie is your idea of a great time, then this movie is for you. If, on the other hand, you like movies with good acting, you might want to avoid this one. But, if you did read the graphic novel...well, its up in the air. Which is where I sit.

First, it was boring. Second, the director forgot to tell a cohesive story. Third, Nightowl was the only character the audience could identify with (the rest were evil or tramps). Fourth, those of us who lived in the Nixon/Vietnam era know that the real events were horrible enough. Finally, why would the audience (or the characters in the movie for that matter) want to be over exposed to a blue nuclear man's big penis?
